The worst thing about bowl season, besides the weird advertising nicknames, is the wait. But thankfully, for Michigan football fans, it’s just about over.
That’s because on New Year’s Day, Wednesday, Michigan football will take the field for the final time in the 2019 season (even though the game is in 2020) against Alabama, a bonafide powerhouse that has played in the last four national championship games.
